PiCture eXchange (.pcx)

The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.

AV1 Image File Format (.avif)

AVIF, or AV1 Image File Format, is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It is designed to deliver high-quality images with superior compression efficiency compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. This format supports advanced features such as HDR (High Dynamic Range), WCG (Wide Color Gamut), 10-bit color depth, and alpha transparency, making it ideal for web developers and digital content creators seeking to optimize performance and visual fidelity. Introduced in 2018, AVIF has rapidly gained adoption due to its open-source nature and effectiveness in reducing file sizes without compromising quality.
